If it passes R CMD check on Windows it should work anywhere. About the
only thing that is fussier on Unix than Windows is the use of the correct
line endings for C etc files. (OTOH, Windows adds restrictions that 'R
CMD check' checks for Unix users.)
Quite a high proportion of CRAN packages were prepared on Windows, as can
be seen from the executable text files, Windows not having a concept of an
'executable file'.
